An object must experience a net force in order to accelerate. This force causes the object to change its speed, direction, or both, resulting in acceleration. The magnitude of the acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied on the object.

What are the requirements for an object to accelerate?

Velocity must be changing in order for an object to accelerate or decelerate.


What can happen when an unbalanced force interacts with an object?

Then the object will accelerate.


What will an object always do when acted on by an unbalanced force?

There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force". But when the entire group of forceson an object is unbalanced, then the object must accelerate.


What does not happen to a non moving object in equilibrium?

A non-moving object in equilibrium does not accelerate or change velocity. It remains stationary and experiences no net force acting on it.


What happends when an inmoveable object meets an unstopeble object?

That will never happen - it can't happen actually. Any time you apply a force to an object, it will accelerate - its velocity will change.


What will happen to an object that has unbalanced force acting on it?

If an object has an unbalanced force acting on it, it will accelerate in the direction of the greater force. The object will experience a change in velocity and will continue to accelerate as long as the force remains unbalanced.


What must happen for an object to stop start change speed or change direction?

A net force must be applied to the object. That is, the vector sum of ALL the forces acting on the object must not be zero.


Will all forces cause an object to accelerate?

No, not all forces will cause an object to accelerate. For an object to accelerate, the net force acting on the object must be non-zero. If the net force is zero, the object will either stay at rest or continue to move at a constant velocity.


An object will accelerate in the direction of what?

An object will accelerate in the direction of the net force acting on that object.


Is it harder to accelerate a moving object?

No, it is not harder to accelerate a moving object. The initial motion of the object does not affect the force required to accelerate it further. The force required to accelerate an object depends on its mass and the desired acceleration.


A net force causes an object to?

Accelerate, motion is generated by applying force to mass.


A net force greater than zero will cause an object to?

... to accelerate.... to accelerate.... to accelerate.... to accelerate.
